CRY

Why is it that you cry?
Pain? guilt? regret or shame?
Or a haunting yesterdays memory?
Creepy , extinguishing your flame
Is it a forgotten dream?
Or a yesterdays breeze?
A sunset eternally lost
Or u cry because you can't scream
Is it a yesterdays blessing?
A bliss you took for granted
Or a touch from a stranger
A future you were never handed
Is it an ache in the chest?
Or the shortness of your breath
That imbalances you gait
Makes you crawl instead of walk
Is it her eyes or her complexion?
Her kiss you never had
Or her breath against your face
You miss every now and then
Is it your carefree past?
Enlightened with others lanterns
Where no frown existed
Among kids you were enlisted
Why is it that you cry?
Is it this tiresome life?
too long never ending
Unfair like a wildfire
YES! but there's more
I  forgot why i lived
Forgot why i struggled
Too much suffering for what?
Forgot the way of my life
I cry because my love is hollow
Superficial as always
Never know my beloved neh!
So i cry out of regret and pain
Kept my lover a mystery in vain
Strayed away and never returned
Now i"m dying
SO?
I'M CRYING
